Our #Malthusian ruling class did two things since WWII:

1. Undermine the birth rate through various covert vectors, both financial and environmental.

2. Commenced unrestricted warfare on the existing population via false pandemics, bio agents, false migrant crises, false weather catastrophes, and likely more to come.

It was a good, thorough plan that at this point simply can't be rolled back.

Humanity will have no choice but to embrace an #AI economy to automate away the lost productivity.
